Fig. 3 is a detail 'view of the blade, andl Fig. 1 is a detail viewl i The numeral 3 iiidicates'the blade,whch,is

lformed with arectangularl erforation 11 near either end anda tapered s ank 12 atl one end. This shank, like the shank 8, is halfround,`and one of its faces is hat and flush with the blade-surface,- and they are so arranged that when the two Shanks are placed togetherthey form a substantially conical or tapered stem.

To assemble the parts, the blade is placed against the, guard, the hooks 6 .entering the perforations 11. The'blade is then pushed tightlyund'er the hooked ends 7, thus bring- .ing the flatffaces of the Shanks 8 and 12 together and forming` a stem with a taper he ta eiof the open- 4 in thev handle. Theiandle is then forced onto the stem, and the taper is ,such that a reasonable vpressure will securely hold the arts in position.
